Samina Ali's memoir, "Pieces You'll Never Get Back: A Memoir of Unlikely Survival," explores her near-fatal childbirth experience and the mental and physical toll it took on her. Initially attempting to craft her story as a novel, Ali ultimately transformed her narrative into a nonfiction memoir through multiple drafts. Her personal account not only addresses the dangers of conditions like preeclampsia but also highlights the emotional journey of confronting deep-seated fears, ultimately establishing the memoir as both a powerful personal tale and an important medical discourse.
You know how they say a shark circles its prey? That's what it was like—circling my story until I captured the true essence of my experience.
Pieces You'll Never Get Back is a powerful, intensely personal book that serves as a patient's-eye record of a dangerous, poorly understood condition.
